The front and rear bearings on the mainshaft are new and I was planning to replace the Plate (i.e. AEB3105) and Spring Plate (i.e. AEC3178) that goes between the bearings at the bell housing and the OD adapter housing ends. None of the usual suspects have these parts available but do offer preload shims/washers in different thicknesses. It looks like in the later BJ8 gearboxes two different shims 22B152 and 22B153 replaced the Plate and Spring Plate used in earlier gearboxes.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>This begs the question.
